I liked their energy. I hope it's not just a new coach bump. I hope they keep it up.
Smith had an excellent game. He helped get his boy Tip fired so he should have been playing guilty.
Jp needed that goal big time!!! Was a factor on the first goal as well. Nice to see, they need him to get going badly.
Hyman scored by shooting the puck from a good scoring spot instead of forcing a pass to a covered Broberg. Gee, that does work. Only been doing it since hockey was invented. Maybe the Oilers will try that more often.
I thought they looked a bit nervous in the first but Smith held them in it. Having a rookie Bouchard, rookie Broberg, rookie Niemelainen and a borderline NHLer in Laggesson I am sure played a part. I think dressing an extra dman to keep all 4 of those guys mins down was smart.
I am a big fan of Niemelainein. I am probably a Neanderthal for thinking a physical element is sorely needed on the Oilers defense but the Islanders are a physical, kind of dirty team and the hits where 29 for Isles, 28 Oilers. SO nice to see the Oilers be able to push back, I think it made a difference.
1-0 with new regime. Keep it going!

The team needs this emotion. Played for each other tonight. Saw it at the end, didn't see who got cross checked to the ice but Nuge came in to give him the business then Nurse streaks in there. LD and Kane in the scrum when Smith got contacted.
The good teams can play physical, still go to those types of players to change a game. The Oilers had one of those guys briefly with Kassian, but he's been an empty sweater for the most part since his deal.
Didnt really mind anyone tonight other than clearly Foegele is struggling to make plays. Not sure what's up there. There's a guy who I'd like to see engage more physically if he's in a funk with his puck play.
